NewBie Question:What's the difference between loginning local machine and loginning a domain?

The former gives you access to local resources while the latter gives you
domain access to network resources. According to your permissions though.

Thanks for your reply,Dave. But I can still access the shared resource in
our intranet when I login local machine. Can you tell me why?

Sounds correct. When you logon locally you haven't authenticated with a DC
hence any network resources would be unavailable.

Looks like Dave misread that you CAN access server resources without
authenicating.

First understanding you need is MS server software does server/client AND
peer to peer. You are connecting peer to peer because you have a server
account that matches the one locally. You are not authenicating to the
domain but your are authenicating at the share level. I would suspect the
share is set to Everyone and not Authenicated Users which is why you can
connect.
